Written especially for the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, Caliban’s Dream was performed live during the lighting of the olympic cauldron.
[Verse 1: Alex Trimble]
Oh
And the rain tossed about us
In the garden of the world
But a flame arrives to guide us
Cast in gold between the anvils of the stars
Watch you over all your children in the rain
And the streets where I remember
Where the fire lights are candle souls again
Affirming flame
Hear me call
Through the darkness, hear it call to us all
And stir again
This beating heart
Come to care
[ Instrumental: bells ]
[ Instrumental: whistling ]
[ Instrumental: la-la ]
[Verse 2: Alex Trimble]
Oh
And the light drive out our fears
And the joy drive out our pain
And the nations come to greet us
Waving open arms like waves of golden corn
Ever hear us, oh the spirit of the world
May your light be ever near us
Always lead us from the dark
Though we may fall
We will fly
And with love
Ever call
